Dec. 30, 2023 10:00 am ETGet off the plane, head to baggage claim and sign up to get hitched. It’s happening. In Las Vegas, of course.

The pop-up is meant to help allay the expected rush of couples looking to say “I do” on New Year’s Eve, which is extra special this year because the date—12/31/23—reads 1-2-3-1-2-3.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

The NBA Tournament’s Burning Question: Is It Worth a Parade?

But they’re still wrapping their minds around how much they should really care about this whole competition. Now, as the inaugural event moves into the quarterfinals and gets ready for this week’s Final Four in Las Vegas, officials at eight city halls across the country are beginning to wonder the same thing. The question that at least one of them will have to answer: Is winning the in-season tournament worth a parade? Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Nevada Judge Rejects Attempt To Add Abortion Amendment To 2024 Ballot

RENO, Nev. (AP) — A judge has struck down an effort to enshrine reproductive rights, including abortion, in Nevada’s constitution, as abortion rights advocates in the western swing state attempt to follow other states in putting the question before voters in 2024.Judge James T. Russell in Carson City District Court concluded on Tuesday that the proposed ballot initiative is too broad, contains a “misleading description of effect” and has an unfunded mandate.The petition, if passed by voters, would have amended the state constitution to include the “fundamental right to reproductive freedom,” including prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, birth control, vasectomy, tubal ligation, abortion and abortion care.“This is probably the clearest case I have seen that I think there is a viola...

Trump Hates ‘Rigged’ Elections – Except The One His People Are Rigging For Him In Nevada
